Came here for this and was not disappointed!

[–] epicstove@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 weeks ago

May has just begun, let's try and beat those numbers.

[–] Archangel1313@lemm.ee 37 points 2 weeks ago

Let's see if we can't keep the trend going.

[–] theacharnian@lemmy.ca 36 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Canadians have been avoiding US travel in response to Trump's policies on tariffs and annexation.

And the whole ICE gestapo thing.

[–] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 weeks ago

Yes. Always remind them of the guestapo.

Let’s see if that title can be the same for May, than again June, than July, and so on and so forth. September will be the real be the real test to see what the snowbirds do.

[–] IronKrill@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Friendly note that both your uses of "than" should be "then". "Then" indicates the sequence of events, as in I went to the coffee shop and then the mall. "Than" is used for comparison, as in apples are better than oranges.

Thank you I am fairly sure I was pity passed my two of the three 100 level english classes I took.

[–] huppakee@lemm.ee 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

European here, what happens in September? What is a snowbird?

[–] Lemmyoutofhere@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Canadians that travel to the US South (Florida, Arizona) for the winter.

[–] huppakee@lemm.ee 4 points 2 weeks ago

Thanks, I wouldn't call a bird that migrates south during the winter a snowbird (ok, also not a beachbird) so that clarifies why I was confused.

How does a boycott "get intense"? It's explicitly the absence of activity.

[–] LostWon@lemmy.ca 16 points 2 weeks ago

Well, there have been consistent drops in the number of returnees each month. So as such, our absence INTENSIFIES.

[–] zipzoopaboop@lemmynsfw.com 10 points 2 weeks ago

You SLAMMED that article good!

Seriously though came here for this, article headers are so dumb

Need it to be 100% (I know, it will Never be a 100% but one can wish).

[–] cyberpunk007@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Believe it or not, but there's people that really just don't give a fuck about anything but themselves (which is kind of ironic, really) and want to visit and buy US shit and they don't care about what trump is doing.

[–] Bebopalouie@lemmy.ca 7 points 2 weeks ago

Fodder for leopards ate my face I guess.

[–] altasshet@lemmy.ca 11 points 2 weeks ago

My contribution will come in June, when I was supposed to go to the US for work.

[–] isVeryLoud@lemmy.ca 11 points 2 weeks ago

We're doing our yearly Montreal - Winnipeg drive this summer.

We usually stop in Chicago for 3 days on the way back. This won't be happening. I miss Chicago, but it's really not worth getting my rights violated at the US border.

Before retiring, I was looking at converting a van for living in full time. Quartzite, AZ is a popular place with nomads. Now, it's just too risky for a Canadian. Oh well, Trump saved me the trouble of obtaining a passport.
